Subject: serial: assert DTR for serial console devices
From: Yinghai Lu <Yinghai.Lu@xxxxxxx>
Some RS-232 devices require DTR to be asserted before they can be used. DTR
is normally asserted in uart_startup() when the port is opened. But we don't
actually open serial console ports, so assert DTR when the port is added.
BTW:
earlyprintk and early_uart are hard coded to set DTR/RTS.
